I’m PCS’ing there at the end of the summer and am trying to figure a out what areas to start looking for a house along with a plethora of other questions about the area. It’s been pretty difficult finding anyone who knows anything about APG. Thanks a lot!

They have brand new on post housing. They were building it at the same time most of the Soldiers transferred away. My understanding is most of the residents are DA civilians or retirees.

It depends on where you will be working. If you are working down in Edgewood, then Bel Air is going to be your best bet. If you are going to be working on the Main post, then i would recommend Havre de Grace. Thats where i lived. I just left there in July when i started Transition leave. I couldn't get out of Maryland fast enough. I95 is the worst highway in America. Good luck to you. Not a very exciting location to be stationed at for sure.

Hi SGT, I know a little about APG, I retired from APG back in 1994, I know that's centuries ago, but I did :-). There's a website called (realtor.com) you can look in the areas of Havre De Grace, which is right outside of APG, or you can look in the area of Edgewood, MD. about 15/20 mins outside of APG, another location is Bel Air MD which is about 30 mins from APG. APG is a very small post, it looks like a deserted post now, land wise it's a nice size, just not much to do on post though. If you want to travel a distance like 45 mins, you can always travel to Delaware, that's what I use to do, commute back and forth, not bad. Any way, get on that website as stated above and you will find various housing, town homes, single family homes etc., You can also, type in Elkton, MD. as well which is right over the bridge from APG, that's about 30mins. Good Luck, Hope it helps, if you need anything else just shoot me a message and I'll see what I can do for you okay :-) .
